ED 5410 RESEARCH IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND THEORIES OF LEARNING
Major theoretical approaches to the study of child development will serve as a basis for profiling the needs and learning styles of today's school-age children. Adjusting curricular expectations on the basis of stages of learning will be addressed. Emphasis will be on current issues, contemporary theories of learning and growth, and factors responsible for placing today's child at "high risk" in regard to the capacity for learning.
